Monro Corwln, of Cranbury, N. J.,represented Mercer County Pomona atthe recent sessions of The New JerseyState Horticultural Society, Trenton,N. J. Being fully conve'rsant with con-ditions in the western country throughyears of travel spent beyond the Mis-sissippi, he was given the subject of"National Aid in Western Irrigation,Its Injustice to Eastern Horticultur-ists," and delivered a vigorous, con-vincing address upon it. Mr. Corwlnis a native of Kenvil and taught schoolin Chester before going west in theEighties, He Is an afdent admirer ofRoosevelt yet does not admire thePresident's policy of encouraging ex-cessive competition to eastern fruitgrowers through the untimely develop-ment of arid America by tlje Govern-ment. It'would be just as consistentfor the Government to urge influx ofEuropean manufacturers by the offerof free, factory sites improved at thepublic expense as /It Is' to spend the re-sources of this great country in devel-oping irrigated farms for Europeansettlers to the end that the nativefarmers, favored by only a few directtariff schedules, be forced to meet un-usual competition, is the positiontaken by Mr. Corwln. He has alwaysbeen a strong Protectionist and mere-ly believes that the politicians havebeen worked by the energetic western1

railroad interests and town' site boom-ers, to the detriment1 of Jersey horti-culturists and farmers.

DOVER DISTRICTLEADSJHEM ALL

LOCAL PRUDENTIALMEN ARE HUSTLERS

And Enjoy Banquet at Hotel Doveras the Result of Their Efforts-What J. V. B. Has to Say.It is probably not generally known

that Dover has the distinction of beingthe headquarters of a District of thegreat Prudential Insurance Companyof America, which in proportion to thenumber^of men on the staff rankedthird for the year 1904 among the 700odd districts of the company in theUnited States, In the amount of ordi-nary business (meaning by the termpolicies of $500 and upward on whichthe premiums are payable quarterly,seml-annually or annually), writtenand In force at the close of the year.

The staff that has accomplished suchcreditable results Jn a territory whichyears ago (In the opinion of some lifeInsurance men) was "worked to death,"comprise 32 men, .headed by Superin-tendent Howard H. King, six assistantsuperintendents, located as follows:Gibson and W. E. King, Dover; Cahlll,Morrlstown; Beidllman, Newton;Stark, Sussex borough, and Dow,Washington, and twenty-five agentswho cover Morris, Sussex, Warren anda portion of Hunterdon counties, be-sides reaching out over the Hne on thenorth into New York State and on thewest Into Pennsylvania.

It' Is seldom possible for this loyalband of hustlers to get together, astheir duties are arduous and the timeand expense of reaching a commonmeeting place would—for many ofthem—be considerable; but on last Sat-urday all hands was given an oppor-tunity to' fraternize, exchange greet-ings and Ideas and partake of a verygratifying banquet at the Hotel Dover;and the reason of the gathering of theclans was this wise; Last August, ata meeting of the Superintendents' As-sociation of Division "I"—which com-prises sixteen districts— an inter-dis-trlct contest In procuring or-dlnary in-surance during the balance of the yearwas arranged for, each district to "go"against" every other district In thedivision during the period, "taking on"a different one each week, with theunderstanding that the three districtswinning the most contests should beentitled to a banquet with travelingexpenses of the respective staff paidat the pro rata expense of all the su-perintendents. Dover district came.outahead, with Patereon No. 2 second andAllentown third; and the hilarity ofthe local district's men at the HotelDover on Saturday Is thus accountedfor. The menu did credit to the lib-erality of the superintendents; and theculinary force of the hotel, and whatunctuous justice their out-of-door lifeenabled the boys to do to It. - . •

After the clgaqs were passed Super-intendent King, in la brief but forcefulspeech, thanked the members of hisstaff for their loyal support and splen-did achievements during the past year,spoke df Its being' the close of his fifthyear as superintendent at Dover andhow each year's record of this districthad beaten the previous one and thatamong the assistant .superintendentsCahlll, of Morrlstown, had made thebest record for the year, while of theagency force Pruden, of the same place,had made the largest net increase inordinary insurance; and Agent Boss,of Stanhoipe, had done the best in In-dustrial. He then introduced Mr. Ed-ward S. Aihlston, the division manager,who complimented the men on theirgood work, spoke in very flatteringterms of~Mr. King's energy and execu-tive ability and read some statistics inanalyzing what had been accomplish-ed, applying his deductions to expect-ed increased results in the future. :

Superintendents : Frlsbie, of New-ark No. 1 District; Kelly, of Orange,and Ball/ <* Plainifield, made , tellingand tncouraglng addresses; AssistantDivision Manager Ash distributedcompliments and good advice lavishlyand ably, and Editor Atkinson, of ThePrudential Weekly Record, deliveredone of his characteristically eloquentand meaty addresses, after which theboys departed for their several fieldsof action, to resume .tramping overweary wastes of winter landscape withenough super-heated enthusiasm' tokeep out the cold and bring Into thefold all the impossible prospects ontheir little lists.

Get Bui Little Plunder-Do Considerable Damage— Show a CleanPair of Heels to the Minions ofthe Law.

Tbltvee visited the S. H Berry HardwareStore early this morning and secured butlittle plunder, they did, however, do e n-riderable damage.

At 1.30 a • m. Night Watchman W...H.Byram while leaving the National UnionBank heard a crash of glass falling to thestreet. Having in mind the former Btrrvrobbery he hastened to the corner of J4o- risuud Black well streets to bthold the displaywindow on the Morris street side of the Berrybuilding Rmasbed into smithereens.

J. W. Roberts, who was awakened by tbecrash and who 'aw the men run, directedByram to the alley in tbe rear of the postofBcn but no trace of the men could be found,

The plunder secured were six revolvers, theconcents of a window display stand, valuedit*26. ,(

The entrance was effected through'theplate RIBSS window. Thp means used being aCentral Railroad pick. An attempt was firstmade to force tbe door'aud that failing tbepii'k was slammed through the window. Twodock spifees and the pick were found nnderthe stairway by the side of the building.

Mr. Roberts who lives in apartments acrossthe street says he was awakened hy tbe crash,and jumped from"tbe bed. in time to see threemen, all of good height, wearing bulsters andblack felt hats run toward the alley near tberiver.

TRUCKING TEAMGOES LOOKING FOR BUSINESS.The Lowe Brothers trucking team

ran away on Tuesday, but fortunatelythe only damage done was the smash-Ing of a spoke in the Piccatlnny Pow-der station wagon. The horses werestanding at the west end of the Lacka-wanna station and George Lowe,' whowas in charge, climbed'to tbfe seat andstarted the team. As the Jorses mov-ed off one line got caught between therear legs of one of the animals andGeorge, with admirable forethought(for his own neck), and considerableagility, jumped out. The team Joggedcomfortably as far as the baggageroom and stopped, doubtless lookingfor.business.

GOV. STOKES'FIRSTJMESSAGE

TO STATE LEGISLATUREMAKES RECOMMENDATIONS

Discusses State Revenues and Taxes—Incorporation of Large Com-panies, Railroads, etc.Trenton, N. J., Jan. 17.-The inau-

gural address and first megHage to thelegislature of Krtwaid C. Stokes, thenew governor of New Jersey, was de-livered iu the Taylor Opera House. Thefull text of the addiesH uud messagefollows:Members of the Senate and General Al-

•embly and Fellow Citizens of New Jer-sey: \This is not a rare occasion. Ninety-

times since Independence, was proclaimedhas this oath been taken before assem-bled electors of New Jersey. Blessinghas followed blessing In the years goneby. A bountiful prosperity la ours today,and the future Is rlph with promise. Froma table colony we have become a power-ful commonwealth and a potent Influencein the destiny of tbe nation. SeriouB, then,the task and solemn the duties be as-sumes who accepts this office at tbe handsof the people and asks the guidance ofAlmighty God In the work before him.

Happily the way is not unknown. Theconstitution of our state wisely dividesthe potverB of government into three dis-tinct departments—legislative, executive

nd judicial, It prSvldes that no personbelonging to one of these departments•hall exercise powers that encroachupon another. The executive and leg-islative''functions are clearly defined. Ibelieve the interest of good govern-ment demands that they should be keptclearly distinct. It is the duty of thelegislature to enact legislation. The ex-ecutive should not presume upon thelegislature in its functions, nor shouldthe legislature avoid its duty or shift itsresponsibility by assumed submission toexecutive will. As governor of this stateI shall not assume the responsibility ofena.ctlng legislation. For that, gentle-men of the legislature, you must holdyourselves accountable to the peoplewho elect you. This does not meanthat we shall not co-operhtc and act Inharmony, Th« constitution provides thatthe governor of this state may recom-mend to the legislative body such meas-ures as' will. In bis opinion, conduce tothe public welfare. 1 shall from time totime, as necessity uriues, freely exercisethat executive prlvilcffi:. 1 shall at alltim«s freely consult with the members ofyour body as to the needs of the peopleof tbe state and as to the character of thelegislation which will best promote theprosperity and progress of our belovedcommonwealth. In this extrclse of ourmutual duties differences of opinion willundoubtedly arise. It Is well that theyshould. Discussion is a good thing, andleads to wisdom and truth. In cases ofthis kind I shall endeavor,' to persuadeyou to see the light as I see it, but whenyour, own convictions remain firm desplte-arg-uraent I shall remember that Moham-med went occasionally to the mountain.j In the work before us let us rememberthat ours is a government by the peopleand for the people. The people have ex-ercised their powers in selecting us astheir agents; it now become* our duty tojustify their trust by administering theaffairs of the state for the people ami forthem only. The more 'unanimous thechoice the greater not our elation, butour responsibilities. The greater the trustthe greater the obligation. Let us avoidfavoritism . toward spcclnl imprests.Above all things, let no cheap demagogyactuate our councils, fcet otir eiid bft_solely that of the public good.State Revenues and Business Compa-

nies.

The preservation and growth of stilt©revenues upon sound and conservativeprinciples is of great Importance. Thefinancial condition of New, Jersey is wellknown. At the close of the last fiscalyear the balance in the treasury umount-ed to $2,940,1)18.98. The ordinary receiptsfor the same year amounted to $4,302,370.61,of which nearly 7S per cent, or $3,;I51,543.69,came from railroads and the businesscompanies domiciled in our state. Of th&entire income of the government not apenny was contributed directly - by thepeople, yet all of it was expended for theirbenefit and In their interest. The state iscaring for the blind, the feeble minded andthe insane, supporting our prisons and re-formatories, educating the young genera-tions, developing a magnificent road sys-tem, maintaining the state governmentand courts of Justice, all of which wouldbe a burden upon the taxpayers exceptfor our present fiscal policy. Last yearout of every $100 expended by the state$£.' was given, to the taxpayers, WJ0 toreducation. MO for charities and correc-tions. $7 for militia. ?t; for public roads.*5.5O tor-the courts, S-'.su for tlm vi-iemm -.and JI.20 for iigririilture.,.

New Jersey does not compete In anyrace for revenue between states wherethe, Inducement to incorporation ta laxityof law. The conservative character ofher Institutions, the honesty of her legis-lators, the unimpeachable Integrity of hercourts and the high standing of her bar,the fact that property and vested interestscan be safely intrusted to her hands, arethe Inducements that have brought capitalto this state. One of the business com-panies that filed Us articles of Incorpora-tion here paid the state treasury for thatservice alone 9221,000 and has' since beenpaying us annually $57,000.

On« ofthese enterprises employs 4,otW hands, an-other 2,500 and others many thousandsmore.

Importance of Corporation Laws.In an age when various localities of our

country are holding out Iniliu!em">tits tog ecu re the location of Industries In theirvicinity the importance of our corporationlaws ln bringing manufacturing and otherbusiness enterprises to our state cannotbe overlooked.

Those great enterprises, as a rule, belongnot to the few wealthy capitalists, butrather to a host of Ntoukhpldertf. who, its•mall Investors, own the majority of thestock. One of thu business cumpiinleH in-corporated in this state, aupprmydly ownedby a few capitalists, has 30,000 stockhold-ers, and three others hnve more than 3J.000each.

New Jersey has never hesitated toamend her laws to meet new situationswithout doing violence to establishedrights- The revenues of our state, hermaterial welfare, her good name an<l theinterests of thousundu of stockholders otthe business companies now chartered un-der her laws demand constant and care-ful review of her act* of Incorporation.If In any respect they are weak, let usmake them strong; If they are burden-some, let us lighten the load. Where ex-perience shows they are wrong let UBmake them right. If abuses have creptIn, let us erudlcttte them. Our legislationmust not be allowed to drift behind thetimea. Let our laws upon thla subject besuch models of Integrity, conservatismand justice as will attract honest capitalwith full notice that here it will not bepermitted to do wrong, but thut here ftwill always be safe and protected so longas It does right. New Jersey's examplehas been followed by her Mater sliUns,and apparently the federal governmentIs about to do likewise. Let us take an-other step in advance and lead the wayalong the path of enlightened public sen-timent on Uils Important subject. I rec-ommdnd the appointment of u commissionto this end.

Taxation.The question of taxntlon Is not a new

subject of discussion. H Is a problem thatgrows with civilization and becomes moreacute as the demands of civilization In-crease the eupiiii.se of government. The jstnte should hnve hut uni> object in levy- jIng taxes—that is, to raise money to main- !tain and administer th<* government In '•order to protert tin? Ifves. liberties and :

property of the people. Equality of tuxa- •;tion In our state is the mandate of ourconstitution, and if all property wus now 'assessed for tuxes by uniform rules ac- 'cording to its true value all property, per- 'sonal, real anil corporate, would share ;equally in the expense of the government, j

The platforms of both parties in the lust 'campaign declared for equal taxation of jall property and for a revision of the prea- jent system of railroad taxation to correct jwhatever Inequalities might exist, Forpurposen of taxation railroad property lias jbeen classified, apart from franchises andpersonality, into two classes—the mainstem and the property used for railroadpurposes outside of the main stem; Themain stem Is confined in some cases toa strip of land not exceeding sixty-sixfeet and never exceeding 100 feet In width.This limitation was based upon the prin-ciple that this property was not subjectto local tax and that it should not there-fore be permitted to absorb to any conaid-arable extent the rnnl property of themunicipality though which it pasted. Rail-road property outflhie of this main stem,known as second class property, has,

the state I work must be continued In the Interest ofund 3 per j humanity and for the safety of the state,

but some system should be devised bywhich present results can be'more eco-nomically obtained or the burden will soonovertax the capacity of the state.

Individuals as well aa the common-wealth have a duty in this connection.The relatives of the unfortunate member*of society should, so far as their means

permit, assist In their maintenance andeare. The tendency of the age Is toshift this burden upon the state. A sig-nal Illustration of this condition.may befound In the fact that of the J.000 ohlldrenbrought to the attention of the state

It Is notunfair to assume that an equally largeproportion of all the dependents nowsupported by the state and the pountlescould becared for at the expense of theirrelatives, who owe a moral duty to theunfortunate members of the family thathey cannot honorably shift.

Riparian Lands.Most of the riparian gran t« of our

state have, been disposed of hi f*e sim-ple and are no longer a lute tinnta. Hl-parlan rifthtt) yet In our poif£cdsion areworth perhaps $6,000,000. These rights,especially such as are located along theHudson river, will grow hi value withthe. growth of the country. NuWre hasfixed their limit. They cannot be multi-plied and the business demands uponthem are continually growlr.* if in thepast the state had not parted with herrights In tills respect, tthv would nowhave an immensely valuable asset andone that would be a source of purpetualrevenue. If the policy of the puat hasbeen a mistaken one, let us at once cor-rect it. The legislature can provide thatriparian lands shall no longer be dispos-ed of in fee simple, but shall be leasedon rentals which at proper periodsshall be readjusted on a fair basis otIncreased value. Such readjustmentscould, be determined, in cases ol dispute,by a representative of the state and arepresentative of the lessee, which wouldInsure fairness to both parties.'One riparian grant made twenty years

ago is now assessed at a sum five timeslarger than was paid for it, another madeten years ago at $50 a front foot is nowvalued at $1,000 a front foot, arid still an-other made leiss than five years ago isnow held at many times Its cost to thegrantee. There are mauy similar In-stances. I submit that is'an unwise policyfor our state to pavt wit* this valuablesource of income. ' .

The preservation and development otthe resources and interests of our com-monwealth are the legitimate functions ofgovernment. God has bountifully blessedour Btate in the years that are gone. Letus' prove worthy of his mercies in theyears to come; "Righteousness exaltetha nation," and patriotism rather than par-tisanship should mark the administrationQt government. Such a policy., t«nda tothe public good, develops a spirit of civicpride and makes, every citizen of thestate feel that he has a.direct and per-sonal interest In the successful adminis-tration of her affairs. Good governmentIs hot only the desire of the people, buta just obligation imposed upon their.otn-dais. It demands that useless offices btabolished; that state boards unneces-sarily large be reduced: that public offi-cials -render full services for,the compen-sation they receive; that the system olabolishing fees in public office, so auspici-ously begun, be extended throughout th«state, and that a spirit of wise economypervade our councils, yrh^e'ery that thestate Is rich, even it true, does not justifythe. unwise or needless expenditure of asingle dollar. The surplus in the treasuryIs not dangerous, nor, Indeed, has it yetexceeded the proportions ot a safe andnecessary working balance; but, whateverIts amount, It belongs to the'people andshould, be prudently employed. The. statiof New Jersey will, hot'be rich •until; i thas; sufficient money 'to provide schoolaccommodations for every child,.' in ttitstate; to" care properly"" for every' statedependent, to complete the system ofgood roads, to pay necessary expenses otgovernment and to relieve the people Jronithe burdens of excessive taxation. Tothese ends and to the good ot the peo-ple of-'this commonwealth I pledge mybest'energy and service. • .

Centuries ago, when the.Roman empirewas In the .height of Its glory, embassiesfrom all - the Roman; provinces, presentedthemselves before the emperor to pledgeloyalty and allegiance. Gifts of variouskinds they brought , him—costly orna-ments wrought from the tores of the rich-est mine*, products of the fields and for-ests and rich devices of industry andskill. The emperor thanked the embas-sies and expressed his gratification at theevidence their gifts afforded of the vastresources of their mighty empire. "But,"he added, "I would that Instead of theseofferings you could have brought thehearts of your 4 people, that with themwe might build a nation bound togetherby the ties, of love." Imperial rule. Ispassing- away; In our; land no divineright marks the . insignia of office. Nohereditary line claims preferment. No re-gal hand guides the destinies of Btate.

THIRTY-FIVE HOURSWITHOUT FOOD.

Relatives of Turner Bros., of Wharton, Wenin This Blizzard. •'

With three engines to pull a trainconsisting of four cars loaded with ISpassengers and their baggage on theChicago and Northwestern railroadsouth bound from Ashland, the wholeoutfit became stalled In the blizzard ofTuesday last while sfeamlng across theLao-du-FlambeaU reservation at a lit-tle flag station of Lake Bolton and

' situated four milee from the nearesttelegraph office. For a period of twen-ty-three hours not a wheel could bemoved, as in trying to work themselvesfree" from a drift two of the engineswere broken down. The third onetaken on at Lac-du-Flambeau • stationfour miles back was a heavy loggingengine and had its ash can broken byone of the small engines, which prov-ed a hard job to repair and had to beremoved, making the situation of amost serious nature.

When the train started from Ash-Jand at the regular hour 6:80 thatmorning it was on time, but was de-layed over an Hour right in the rail-road yards at that city by the heavysnow. At Saxon an hour and a halfwas consumed in helping on a derailedengine, and by the time Ironwood -was

., reached they were three and one-halfhours late. Thus hampered and thestorm still Increasing In its fury, theyslowly left Hurley on their routesouth,steam

stopping at every station toup and losing thereby much

dPtime. At Lac-du-Plambeau anotherengine from Flambeau Lumber Com-pany logging camp was added to thebattery to do battle against the ele-ments which momentarily were"increas-ing in fury. Four miles distant atLake Bolton, a flag station, they hadto stop for two Indian passengers andIn . attempting to start up in a deepdrift of snow one of. the smaller en-gines broke her brake cylinder whichin turn crippled the heavier engine bybreaking her ash pan, which had to beremoved before they could proceed. Al-ready about live houra late and In faceof the still Increasing storm, this madethe situation of a very serious nature,for the train was now.four miles dis-tant from the nearest telegraph stationIn the rear and six miles to Woodruff,the nearest one * south.

The work of removing the ash panproved a very difficult operation as the•heavy engine had to be raised on Jackscrews and many hours were consum-ed in accomplishing it.

Engineer Donahue of Antlgo provedhimself built of the rig-ht material andeasily one of the heroes of that mem-orable trip. Together with his help-ers they laid on their backs in thedriving snow until every thread ofclothes was thoroughly wet, workingon and on for hours afterward untilthey had completed the Job, which wastwo o'clock on the morning of Wednes-day.

By this time the water and coal onthe two smaller engines was so farused up that.they had to be replen-ished before making an attempt tostart the train

Conductor Charles Beatty of Antlgoalso here easily won laurels for the

, work which .he saw was likely to beneeded. He set out with the" two en-gines for Waodruft but less than threemiles away both engines got stalled inthe constantly increasing drifts and intrying to work their way out used upall their water.' and died. Nothingdaunted, Conductor Beatty and one ofthe firemen set themselves to the al-most Insurmountable task of, a fourmile walk through the deep drifts tocall for succor for Ma snow boundcharges on the train, who were nowover twenty hours without food. Hereached the town of TVoodruH aboutdaylight nearly exhausted, but imme-diately entered his call for help to the

. company officials. The answer Waspromptly met and the Flambeau Lum-ber Company, who had a camp three-fourths of a mile from the point where«he train was stalled, were Instructedto furnish all the provisions necessaryto the famished train crew and pas-sengers. This duty was given incharge of Geo. Ennls, the company'sgeneral foreman, who Instead of depu-tizing- one of his many assistants to dothe errand, at once set out to do it per-sonally.' He waa seven miles awaywhen he received the telegraphic dis-patch and made the whole distance onsnow shoes, facing the storm, each timehe stepped his foot sinking nearly afoot deep in tho snow. When he camelh sight his appearance caused consid-

erable excitement nmonE the snow-bound passengers, but when he toldhis story a greut shout of joy went upfrom the passengerw. for they knewthat food and deliverance was sure toeojne during the day. Mr. Bunls atonce set out for the Flambeau Com-pany's nearest lumber camp and bynoon he had returned wlt'h a big batch

! of dougrhnuts and cakes, so that all haau Hi11u.ll lutt'.-h, with the promise ofplenty a short time later. About oneo'rlin-k on Wednesday, thirty-live hoursafter fire last morsel of food whichsome of the passengers had eaten,niost generous dinner was provided forthe ravenous crowd who anxiouslyawaited the coming. The company'steam with a whole slelghload of well-(.ooked provisions preceded by a teamand snow plow, reached the bllKzard-hound prisoners, and more excitementreigned In that crowd than could bethought possible If the same crowd'had been *seen as they appeared whendaylight broke over the weary watch-ers for uid which came as they thoughtso tardily. Two big dlshpans filledwith fried beefsteak and pork sausage,great hamperscrackers, ea,ke,cheese and pickles, and two great cansof hot ten made up the bill of fare,which to the hungry crowd seemed lit-tle less to them than the most elaboratedinner at the tlnest cafe in the land.Mr. 'George Ennis was the center ofan admiring crowd from this time onuntil his departure, and the gratefulthanks he received from all seemed towell repay him for the long strugglehe had made through the snow to aid•hlfl fellow men. Again, when he hadlearned that the crowd before him werewithout water he volunteered to makestill another trip to help them through.He took two paiU and tilled them at aspring quite a. distance off in thewoods, and still more thanks were ten-dered him for his kind acts.

Right here It may not be out of theway to say that Mr. Ennls, althoughquite a modest-appearing man, has un-der his charge all the men in the fourlarge lumber camps belonging to theFlambeau Lumber Company, at whichduring- the coming winter they expectto put In 25,000,000 feet of pine logs.

The gloomy clouds of the' morningwatchers were lifted and scattered atabout two o'clock when a snow plow,two engines and two carloads of snowshovelers appeared from the south andsoon had us on the way to Woodruff.When the train rolled Into that villagethe inhabitants stood, in open mouthwonder gazing on the people who hadbeen snow bound at one spot for twen-ty-three hours, something never beforeheard of even In that region of bigstorms. "Mr." says one old settler nearManitowlsh, "I tiave, been here nig* onfifty year and a bigger, fiercer storm Inever see." •. l

One hundred lumber men walked Infrom the Ross Lumber Company's camptwo miles away, at Arbor V-ltae, andsixty-five from the Flambeau LumberCompany to help shovel out the im-prisoned 'travelers. ,

That Charles Beatty was doubly thehero of the blizzard experience Is" at-tended'by" the facts given out by thefireman who acompanied him on thatterrible walk and who In order to gethis friend through safely had to arousehim from a stupor or bewildermentwhich at one time threatened him. Byforcing him to keep on walking hefinally got through safely. ConductorBeatty Is over sixty yearB of age andthe fireman who was with him abouttwenty-five years.

ROCKAWAY ROUNDHOUSEWAS BADLY BURNED.

The Central Railroad round house

at Rockaway in some unknown man-

ner took fire early Wednesday morn-

ing and was completely gutted. Six

engines are kept, as a rule, in this

house, and the first one goes out about

5:30 a. m. On the morning of the tire

all the engines were out excepting one.

When the fire woe discovered by the

hostler in charge of the place the blaze

was going pretty strong. The one re

maJnlng: engine wa-3 run into the yard

and the alarm given. The firemen

when they arrived could not reach the

fire, alnce It waB situated too far from

the mains. One small stream wae

finally played on the conflagration

from the donkey pump used to pump

water in the engine tanks.

THE MINSTREL SHOWTO BE BEST EVER.

That the members of ProtectionHook and Ladder Company, No. 1, arebound to make their coming annualminstrel show the best they have puton is evident by the efforts expendedThe rehearsals are being conductedwltih a regularity and vim that canproduce nothing but success. The factthat there will be no opera house inwhich to hold the show this year willprove no detriment, since the truckboys have constructed a substantialstage In the Library Hall. The stageIs no hastily built affair but one ofneat workmanship, with footlights,drop curtain, all complete. The stageopening is 21 feet 6 Inches wide andwill seat the "circle" nicely. It Is 32feet deep. A. P. McDaylt, W. B. GU-len and J. J. Vreeland, Jr., are the mainworkers In the stage constructing andhave turned out a very creditable pieceof work. The proceeds of the showthis year will go toward purchasing ateam of horses for the truck, and everyone should purchase a ticket. youwould not feel the loss of the 60 centsand the firemen repay you by the watchtheV maintain over your property, tosay nothing of the excellent entertain-ment provided.

A HEW E M OF PROCRESS-RURAL TELEPHONE SERVICE.

The extension of telephone lines intothe rural districts, to supply serviceto the farmers and other residents/ Isbeing pushed throughout the country.It is fast becoming a factor1 of vitalImportance to the dweller In the coun-try. Out of It almost a new civilizationIs springing, and it will undoubtedlyInaugurate an era of progress andprosperity hitherto unknown. It bringsthe suberban resident no matter howremote, In touch with the town, Itplaces him within reach of all thebenefits of the most advanced civiliza-tion. Market and producer are keptIn easy communication, and much timeand money Is saved by obviating themany Journeys hitherto necessary forpersonal Interviews. The various sub-scribers on a Farmers' Line can com-municate with each other without call-ing up the Central Office; this Inducesa feeling of safety and companionshipthat is very gratifying, and is manytimes of Incalculable convenience. Themere fact that- from the farm house,far out on a country road, Immediateconsultation with the doctor in townmay be held, is worth often manytimes the amount of the cost of theservice. The appreciation with whichthis new convenience is meeting Isshown by the way in' which contractsare pouring In upon the TelephoneCompany.

The monthly I reception of Prof.Charles J. Bruneel's evening dancingclass on Friday night of last week wasa most delightful affair. While all thereceptions this season have been verypleasant this last one capped the cli-max in a most satisfactory manner.The reception was held In the originalElite Hall and there was one hundredor more in attendance.'. Mrs. H. A.Ackley furnished music. The matineeclass reception was postponed, owingto the rehearsals for the carnival andexhibition, on Saturday afternoon,January 28. ' • •• •

AGAINST EXTRA SESSION.Cannon Hop«t Country Will Oat •' Rmt

Until Deetmbtr.Washington, Jan.-18.—Speaker Can-

non was the principal speaker at theannual banquet of the national boardof trad*. He spoke of proposed tariffrevision, river and harbor improve-ments and the amendment of the inter-state commerce law.

Ha reminded his hearers that thiswas the short session of congress andthat the members were to agree on leg-islation that would devolve approxi-mately *050,000,00<J to the public serv-ice. If the throttle were to be opened$100,000,000 more easily-could be ap-propriated. .•'•'• : ' . " . ; . '

Regarding the tariff question, Mr.Cannon said It was the consensus ofopinion.that it was better to wait ayear before undertaking to revise therevenue laws. "I think," he said, "webav* a pretty good revenue law bothas regards the customs and the inter-nal revenue," and he added, with asmile. "We need the money."

"Under existing conditions," the speak-er said, "my Impression is that thecongress of th^ United States will hesi-tate to run the risk of halting the busi-ness interests of the country. I trustthat when adjournment of congresscomes the country will get a rCBt sub-stantially until the first Monday inDecember." •

Regarding the Interstate commercelaw, Mr. Cannon was inclined to thinkit possible to give the country some-thing ur the way of legal machinerythat would correct the Iniquities thatnow exist In the remaining days pfcongress, he added, legislation may beenacted" that will tend to correct in-equalities between the distributer andthe consumer.

A CORRECTION.Chester, N. J., Jan. 18.—In reading

through my article on Prospect Lodge,No. 24, F. & A.M., published In lastweek's Era, I was greatly surprised tosee "Alden B. South Senior Master ofCeremonies" Instead of Frank H.Hughson. Mr. Hughson is the SeniorMaster of Ceremonies and Mr. Souththe Junior. I deeply regret this error,as Mr. Hughson Is one of Prospect'syoungest and most Interested work-ers and one of our most highly es-teemed citizens. I am pleased to givethis light to whom It Is justly due.

Dr. H. W. K!ce, as a member of CheBoard of Health, under a suspensionof rulefii'addressed the council on thesubject of the appropriation for thatbody. Dr. Klce stated that the mem-bers of the board had complied withnil the requirements and were doingtheir duty In a manner which they sup-posed was right.

Mayor Williams said It was true thatlast spring when the budget was madeup (100 was named as the sum duehe Board of Health, but the borough's

finances were In u straitened condl-lon iind since the board was not in

immediate need of fundB the councildid not place.the amount at the board'sdisposal. Inasmuch to do so wouldnean \hat the borough must needsborrow the money. Mayor Williams'urther said 1t was not ^ the sense ofhe council to keep the board from.vhat was theirs rightfully, but simplylid as they thought wise, owing toluck of funds.

NTo the jnayor's remarks Dr. Kice re-plied that he thought the council actedin good faith, but they had overlooked:he fact that the hoard's money hadieen "borrowed" without consulting

the board. Dr. Klce then aaked If themoney had been set aside subject torequisition by the board and received

Thrilling; tales of adven-ture, mystery .ind detectives stories: such as " The, Murders in the RueMorgue," " Tlie Purloined Letter" and the "Mystery of Marie Rogei."demonstrate the author's wonderful capability fur correctly analyzing the,mysteries of the human mind. Many recognized authorities claim that themodern Sherlock Hulmes' Stories were inspired by Poe's writings. The simi-larity In (he deductions through which Slterlock Holmes reaches his conclus-i o n s sustains these claims.

Stories of adventure, bits ofwil lknt imaginative extravaganza, fascinatingtales of witchery and papers of criticism and " Review of Minor Writers," whjcltwon for Poe tlie enthusiastic admiration of Charles Dickens, with poems ofbeauty and melody, such as "Annabel Lee," "The Haunted Palace," and the"Raven," wltli a brief sketch of the life and death of the author give thereader a vivid conception of the atmosphere in which this wonderful writerIIveiland died.

Pearson's Magazine for 1905The editorial policy of PEARSON*S IS. In « nutshell, to combine entertain-

ment with Instructivertess. While the publisher always tries to present In eachmagazine an attractive prospectus or the coming number, he always Insistsupon the articles and stories themselves being better than the prospectus.

Magazine readers have come to look upon PEARSON'S us the periodical Inwhich they always find some fiction character of such unusal strength as tobecome a popular hero of the day. The most famous of these PEARSON-madecharcaters .ire Captain Kettle, Monsieur A. V., The International Spy, andDonQ.

Plans for the coming year Include a neiv series of storks by Ilic autlw(Captain Ketlle. and a new series of Historic Mysteries by Allen Up»ard,Jauthor of "The Revelations of nn International Spy." H. G. Well lofWars of tlie Worlds " fame) will be a prominent contributor with a serle of hInimitable short stories built upon such seml-sclentlfic lines nsto Klve to his irextravagant plots of fiction the form of convincing truth. F. Berkeley SmltS?will create a new PEARSON hero of pronounced character from the type of the 'careless-minded sons of the very rich Americans wlio dwell In Paris for amuse-ment's sake : but who at heart have the true pluck and clean spirit of the coun-trymen. HenryGeorge, Jr., has In preparation for PEARSON'S a trementoulseries of articles entitled : " The Decline o the Republic. These article w Wshow the United States as It exists, sofl y «nd politically to-day.

They will draw parallels between tht :onditlo»s of to-day and tho eo fUUj jancient times, when the very prosperity and seeming enlightenment of « b t |people of Babylon; Rome, Athens and Pompeii, with the attendant extravajand arrogant viclousness was a forerunner to downfall and ruin.

There will be no central attack upon wealth, which Is legitimate IIn every way to be encouraged, but against special privileges, which, are*to the concepts of the Fathers of the Republic and destructive of Anwjpolitical and social principles and Ideals.

The vast system of laws of special privilege In the United^the vast private fortunes on the one side and the poverty of the ma sel-Qother—a poverty In face of extraordinary and unexampled material propgeneral growth of power to produce wealth. Lincoln's declaration that Vncannot long exist half bond and half free applies as well to a condition G'trial as to one of chattel slavery.

This must daunt every thoughtful, patriotic man and woman who Pwhat enormous power is In this country to-day centered in the hands oAlPrinces of Privilege and to what a state of dependence the large prop!our population Is reduced. PEARSON'S will deal with this question'conservatively, but fearlessly.

It wouM be very lieljilul In pur-siiingtluwe studies in this jrosiu'l to get aconcise Kimiiiiiiry of tile events of eachchjipter. CLnpler i luijibt be isumim-rized as the word of Coil, Johu tlieBaptist's testimony to tue ljiiub ofGod uud [be.Lulliiis of Bix dloclulea;cbupler li, the luurriuyti in Oanu, thepassover cleansing of tue temple, theprediction of His death and resurrec-tion. Home une lias said that God'sword, like God's worlds, moves In acircle. One of the institutions of thegarden of Eden was inairiiige, and Inthe restored ptiradlue shall he the mar-riage of the Lamb.

Here we have the Hist of our Lord'smiracles and His glory manifested uta niui'rlage iu Caen. The peculiar one-iicsu of Ills people with Uiiu&olf Isoften thus set forth. "Thy maker Isthiue husband, the Lord of Hosts IsHis name," "Turn, O backsliding chil-dren, saitb the Lord, for 1 aui inurriedunto you," "Married to Him who Israised from the dead, that we shouldbring forth fruit unto (Sod" (Isa. llv,5; Jer. Ill, 14; Rom. vil, 4). The one-ness of Adam and Eve Is used by theSpirit through Paul as a type of Christand the church (Eph. v, 30-32).

The title "Mother of Jesus" here giv-en to Mary reminds us of the greathonor conferred upon her, a truly cost-ly honor to herself,' but nil honor withChrist Is very costly. "All who willlive godly in Christ Jesus shall sufferpersecution," "If we suffer we shallalso reign with Him" (11 Tim. lii, 12;li, 12). When one said, "Blessed Is thewomb that bare Thee," He said, "Yea,rather blessed are they tluit hear theword of God and keep It" And againHe said, "My mother and nay brethrenare these which hear the word of Godand do It" (Luke art, 28; viil, 21). Thefact of Jesus and His mother and Hisdisciples being at the marriage mightIndicate that it was the marriage of afriend or relative.

Presently at the marriage there wasa need. It Is always our need thatdraws forth His fullness and givesHim opportunity to enow His glory.Els mother calls His attention to thelack of wine, and He gives her to un-derstand that He will see to It at theright time. She evidently so under-stood It, for she said to the servants,"Whatsoever He saith unto you do it"(verse 5). There Is nothing in the leastdiscourteous in His reply to His moth-er. He could not be anything but kindto her, for God Is love, and love iskind always. There Is a proper timeand way for everything, and He Isnever too faBt nor too slow. "As forGod, His way la perfect" Happy arethose wno can truly say, "My timesare In Thy band" (Ps. xvili, 30; xxxi,15). His mother's word to the servantsla a good word for each of us at alltimes, for a willing and obedient sub-mission to Him is everything, The an-gels who esceHn strength do His com-mandments, hearkening unto the voiceof His word (Ps. cill, 20).

The six waterpots having been atour Lord's command filled to the brim,He then said, "Draw put now andbear unto the governor of the feast,"and when the governor had taated thewine, not knowing whence It came, hecalled the bridegroom and commendedthe wine as the best which they hadhad on this occasion. Our Lord did Ina moment that which ordinarily takesseveral months by means of the vine,but whether by the vine or by Hisword In a moment, It Is His doing andequally easy to Him by whose wordthe heavens were made and all thehost of them, by the breath of Hismonth (Ps. xxxlli, 6). There is nothingtoo wonderful for Him who createdthe heavens and the earth by His greatpower and stretched out arm (Jer.xxxll, 17). , i

Just try'to think what that powerwould do in and through these vesselsof ours if they were only wholly atHis disposal. One suggestion in con-nection with wine la gladness—"Winethat maketh glad the heart of man"(Ps. civ, 15)—but It Is earth's gladnessand soon past. "Thy love Is betterthan wine" (Song 1, 2), and when wehave learned the power and unchange-ableness of His Ioye we no longercrave-the transient Joys of earth. Wa-ter is suggestive of the word of God,as in Eph. v, 26; Ps. cxlx, 9, and If wewere as full of the word as these wa-terpots were full of water the sameLord could easily cause us to be sofull of the wine of the kingdom, thereal Joy of the Lord, that people mighthare cause to talk of us as they did ofthe disciples at Pentecost (Acts 11,13).

We have the treasure in earthen ves-sels that the excellency of the powermay be of God and not of us (II Oor.IT, 7). These earthen vessels are tem-ples of the Holy Ghost, and He wouldhave m clean temples, tree from allfUthlnesB of the flesh and spirit (I Oor.vl, 10, 20; II Cor. vii, 1), living as thosewho i re risen with Christ should live,having our affections on things above,looking forward to the marriage of theLamb and rejoicing greatly In It, andIn Him whom having not seen we love,In whom though now we see Him not,yet believing, we rejoice with joy un-speakable and full of glory (I Pet. 1, 8).Many believed In His name when theyl a w His miracles (versa 23), but thenext versa says literally that He didnot believe in them, for He knew whatwas In man. He reads the heart and

* at a glance whether we are trulytrusting in Him for His own sake orbecause of some blessing received, likethose who followed because of theloaves and flshes.
